    I still have yet to understand how Fonfara got the fight over Kovalev.

    I thought the whole point of the Double Header (Kov-Silk; Stev-Bellew) was for Kov-Stev immediately following.

    I would've told someone they were full of schit had they told me that Double Header was for the build up to Stevenson vs Fonfara

      Has Showtime even given out any dates revolving around a non GBP/Haymon fighter since Espinoza took over?

        He wanted another build up bout. Then Main events started talking about Fonfara as a defense for Kovlev for March....and....yea

          Exactly. Why do people ignore that he's fighting Forfana? He chose to fight a bum over Kovalev for less money.

          Tony Bellew was his mandatory so he had no obligations and there was nothing stopping him fightng Kovalev.

          Blatant and shameful duck.

            I thought he was about the $$$$ though.... What better build up bout for his Hopkins fight than Kovalev?

              Fonfara on HBO pays less than Fonfara on Showtime.

              Kovalev earns him less than a Hopkins fight in Canada most likely. Unless HBO wants to open up their pocketbook.

                Why couldn't Stevenson fight Kovalev instead of the bum he is fighting next? Unify the two belts and then *** off to Showtime to unify all 4 with Hopkins.

                Then we would have had an undisputed champion in two fights you dummy.


                Right down the pipe, third post in.

                    A Kovalev fight pays much more than a Fonfara, oh plus a belt. But its clear Stevenson hates belts and money, why else did he choose Fonfara over Kovalev.

                      Would it? Wouldn't Stevenson take more of a cut of the money against Kovalev in Canada than a Hopkins fight?
